I had a hard time getting through this book as it was so slow. The story doesn't really pick up until the last 20% of the book and even then I wasn't into the story. I wasn't invested in the characters and din't feel for them when bad things happened. The beginning of this book contains a lot of world building but it read more like info dumping than anything else.
